Utility Information Provided on GPS Excavators
The large excavators on MPT are able to use GPS to maintain line and level control.
Alongside the excavation model, MPT have developed a method for importing the utility’s AutoCAD model into the excavator’s GPS display enabling operators to have a clear visualisation of the services within the areas they are working.
These serve as a constant reminder of the potential risks services pose and provide a real time accurate service location in relation to the excavator’s bucket.
